2021 Land Rover Range Rover Autobiography D350

Out go the old TDV6 and TDV8 units, replaced by a single 3.0-litre straight-six Ingenium diesel incorporating 48-volt mild-hybrid technology – an integrated starter/generator that harnesses energy under braking and then uses it to boost engine response under acceleration.

It’ll be offered in two states of tune – D300, with 296bhp and 650Nm of torque, and the D350, which pumps out 345bhp and 700Nm of torque. That higher-output power figure eclipses that of the old TDV8 – which may prove a good thing, because while nobody at Land Rover will admit it, market forces could well make this the final all-new diesel motor introduced on the Range Rover.

It’s the D350 we’re trying here and while it is undoubtedly different from the old V8 flagship, it still feels reassuringly like the peak of the range on the sort of long-distance cruising that the Range Rover is so brilliant at. That 700Nm of torque is available from just 1,500rpm, so there’s more than enough twist to get up and moving quickly. Remember, after all, that this figure is a match for the P565 supercharged V8 petrol motor.

The engine is refined for a diesel, too – quiet and smooth in the main, and bordering on the sonorous when it is extended beyond 2,500rpm. That rarely needs to happen, though, because the transmission is calibrated so that the system does all of its best work by 3,000rpm, and shifts up accordingly. At a steady 70mph you’ll see barely 1,500rpm and the engine noise will have faded to a distant chug, easily drowned out by wind rush hitting the Range Rover’s imposing front end and side mirrors, and tyre roar from beneath.
